	abstract = {Dental cements have a wide field of applications in clinical practice. The use as a base material is a very important one in dentistry. The aim of this study is to assess some relevant properties of a silicate cement (SC) developed for dental applications, comparing it with two other cements already commercialised, a zinc phosphate cement De Trey Zinc Cement Improved{\textregistered} (DT) and ProRootMTA{\textregistered}(MTA). Their compressive strength, dimensional changes and weight variation in water after setting, according to ISO standards were compared. The mean compressive strength of DT, MTA and SC were, respectively, 134MPa, 31MPa and 46MPa. There were no statistically significant differences for the three tested cements at the various time intervals, in respect to their weight variation or dimensional changes. However, there was a little loss of weight for DT (0.15\%) and for MTA (3\%) and a gain of 3\% for the SC. Regarding the dimensional changes, all materials undergo little expansion, more significant in the MTA and in the SC samples of 2,07\% and 0,4\%, respectively. The new Silicate Cement, presented enough compressive strength, low weight variation, very small dimensional changes and good adaptation to the surface of dental cavity. For these reasons this new cement could be a valuable proposal as a base material for dental applications.},
